1931 Auction

My interest in days past, family history, and preserving the stories for those in the future is important to me. I found the sale bill and a partial list of items sold at a sale my Great Grandfather Carl "Charley" Swanson (b. 1862 - d.1954) had on March 10, 1931. How interesting to see the names of the old neighbors and relatives and prices they paid for items. (Click on the sale bill to see it enlarged.)
